I think my max was like 800 something pounds, and whenever I go to thje gym and do this all these guys look at me funny as they leave the leg press and i add like 4X the weight they had on. My legs have always been strong, as my thigh and calf muscles are literally bulging out of my leg. I haven't been working out or running or anything, and don't take steroids or anything, but it's crepy to imagine how much i could do if i did, not that Im going to or anything

to answer some of the responses.. i only weigh 150. maybe it runs in the family, cuz my cousins the same age as me, nd hes 6'3 nd weighs 180, nd benches like 270, nd can leg press 600.. he's on varsity football, so thats kinda expected, but im a soccer player, so i guess that has something to do with it? aand no im not full of crap, it's stupid to lie on the internet and i see no enjoyment that can result from it, other than ppl who are dishonest and have no lives beyond their computer. : p

and yes, i know calf muscles have nothing to do with squatting.. i don't think i mentioned squatting, so maybe you are answering the wrong question?

K9 - i actually am short, i've heard things like its easier to leg press for short ppl cuz w/ bigger ppl they have to push up and down a lot further to do a full rep. i'm 5'7-5'8, so i have no idea hah! and i actually do upsidedown pushups and use walls for balance, that's kinda ironic that you said that : o

That's not all that unusual at all.

NO that is not normal, I am 23years old 235lbs and i have been lifting since high school football. I have never squatted more than 535lbs. NO that is NOT usual! you are either a freak of nature or full of crap. ***And by the way R>N> calf muscles have nothing to do with squatting!

It is only disproportional if you are short! At 5'9" it is fine! however by 18yoa if you haven't hit 1200lbs...hm! By that time 20 rep of handstand pushups will be easy right?!

Sounds like a good case of wanting attention.....
You are a beast go to the doctor, your legs are gonna fall off. Seriously tell your mom and dad that some lady on the Internet told you to tell them to get you to the doctor immediately. Other wise your legs will fall off.....
